HONG KONG - Super Typhoon Ragasa has begun moving away from Hong Kong, but hurricane-force winds linked to the storm are still occasionally impacting the southwestern areas of the city. 

The Hong Kong Observatory issued the highest-level Hurricane Signal No. 10 at 2:40 am on Wednesday, and it will remain in force for the time being as hazardous conditions may continue to pose a threat.

In response to the super typhoon, all sectors of society, including government agencies, emergency services, and the general public, have taken proactive measures to ensure safety and minimize disruption.
